         Comments: One of the serious problems involved in rendering ‘to believe’ or ‘to refuse to believe’ is that so frequently the NT text does not indicate precisely the goal or object of such belief.|In a number of languages, however, the syntactic requirements are such that some clear goal must be in the immediate context. For example, in {S:04101601600016} it may be possible to translate ‘whoever refuses to believe the good news shall be condemned.’
